On phantom thermodynamics with negative temperature

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2009-01-14 v2

Abstract

We discuss the thermodynamic properties of the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe with dark energy fluids labelled by ω=p/ρ<1/3\omega=p/\rho<-1/3. Using the integrability condition, we show that the phantom phase of w<1w<-1 can still be thermodynamically allowed even when the temperature takes on negative values because in that case, there exists at least a condition of keeping physical values for pp and ρ\rho
